Wouldn't address the importance of fibre, micronutrients and other benefits accrued from getting your vitamins from food. They say multivitamins just give you expensive wee. You are better off taking specific vitamins to cover any shortfalls. So with this article in mind, a Vitamin B complex pill would probably be a better idea. We Brits also need to be on Vitamin D at least through the darker months. I tale the latter all year, I am considering the former and would recommend something like a high strength cod liver oil tablet for Omega 3. Those three would cover a lot of the bases (to the point you wonder about the NHS banging them out at scale) but aren't a substitute for a balanced diet.
